Mr. de Piccoli (Telespazio), began his presentation in the Annual EGNOS workshop by explaining the U-Space concept, a set of procedures and services that aim to enable safe use of airspace for large number of drones, as well as the specific services to which EGNOS could contribute. After that, the issues addressed by Telespazio’s solutions for U-Space management were described, including GNSS performance and real-time flight monitoring. As part of their solution, EGNOS/EDAS is used for real-time positioning of the drone for navigation and flight control (drone operator), anti-tampering and detection of GNSS threats. Network and satellite-based connectivity are part of Telespazio’s solution. Their vision and proposed solution for U-Space will be validated as part of the Full Flight View (F2V) project, as well as through other ongoing R&D activities.
